The Pagosa Photo Club is pleased to present this month's program a tutorial on DVD on Ansell Adams. Few American photographers have reached a wider audience than Adams, and none has had more impact on how Americans grasp the majesty of their continent. The DVD is a Documentary Film that offers insights into American history topics including the closing of the wilderness, the American West and California history. It will be very informative and enjoyable.

A photo exhibit is held during each club meeting. Two categories are presented each month, with this month’s theme being “ COLD” and the open category where any subject is allowed. Members may enter as many as three prints or six digital images. Good news our projector has been calibrated and is greatly improved. President Bob Winners will lead the critique of photos. It will be done as a group rather than specified judges.
